Please note that the main property can be bought separately. Seller is open to potential buyers making offer on the Outer Drive house by itself. The rare Detroit landmark compound includes 19434 Ilene Street, 19442 Ilene Street, and the iconic Mid-Century Modern ranch at 4040 W Outer Drive. Offering over 5,000 sq. ft. of living space, the home features a primary suite with a heated indoor pool, jacuzzi jets, and skylit walk-in closet, along with floor-to-ceiling windows, soaring angled ceilings, exposed brick, rare slate flooring, a glass fireplace highlighted in a 1957 Detroit Free Press article, and original built-in grills. Perfect for entertaining, the property includes a finished basement with wet bar and daylight windows, multiple door walls opening to a private courtyard, plus modern upgrades such as a sprinkler system, dual-zoned furnaces, two-way audio security, and a full-house gas generator. Once host to Motown legends, Aretha Franklin, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and located in the NEZ Homestead district, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Detroit history. 19442 Ilene needs TLC, while 19434 Ilene suffered fire damage and will require a full renovation.
